Cut costs with clever storage tips at Need A Space Kent

Here at Need A Space in Canterbury Kent, we want to make sure that you not only take advantage of our highly competitive prices, but also, when you store your valuables you do it in such a way as to reduce costs even more!

Take a look below at some of our top tips:

Think big

You may be a business temporarily storing equipment or a domestic resident moving house and needing to store your valuables until you have set up your new location, but in all scenarios think about the bigger picture. There may well be other assets or possessions you wish to put in storage – the more you store the cheaper the cost. For instance, at Need A Space, if you store for over 5 months you get the sixth month for just a penny! So take a closer look at how you store at your company. How can you free up space and create lucrative areas? If you are downsizing your home, think twice about throwing those valuables out – give yourself time by putting them in storage.

Preparation saves time and money

Unfortunately, getting all your possessions to safe storage takes some clever strategies so make sure you have everything you need. Here at Need A Space we can provide all those extra bits and pieces which will help your move and storage go smoothly and easily. For instance, we will give you free use of our Luton Tail-lift van when you pay for a minimum of two months. Making sure your possessions are packed safely is an absolute must and to help you, Need A Space offer some free packing materials as well as others, like wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, at low cost!

Think for the future

We all want to get the heavy work of storing, moving and loading over, but you are only going to end up with more stress, if you do not consider the future in your storage strategy. Label all boxes so they are easy to find and ensure valuables that you will need access to, are at the front of the storage container or in a gangway. Need A Space can help with labels.

Protect your assets

Need A Space self-storage will ensure there are no problems with security when you leave your valuables with us – you just need to protect them against time and the ravages of packing. So always seal photos so they are not affected by moisture; cover fragile possessions in blankets and bubble-wrap; use tape to keep appliance doors closed; keep fridges upright to prevent damage to the refrigeration unit and protect monitors and screens with bubble-wrap.
